Ivan picked up his coffee mug and took a sip.
Aubree didn’t insist on convincing Jennifer. The world belonged to the young now, and she was too old to take care of everything.
Jennifer was the only one who could accompany Ivan through the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, Finnley was in the hall for the charity banquet at Victoria Hotel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the decorations in the hall had ended. Only some details were ending soon.
An enterprise needed to take social responsibility and maintain an excellent reputation, so a charity banquet was necessary. The Marsh Group held one such banquet every five years, and countless people looked forward to it.
The reporters focused more on the donation and wondered how much more it would be compared to the previous years.
Organizing a charity banquet well was also challenging. First of all, the planning should be excellent. Finnley had been busy with it with his team for a whole month.
They decided on guests to invite, the banquet's theme, and the responsibilities of the staff members. All the risks needed to be foreseen, and solutions needed to be planned.
“Is this lamp too dark?” Finnley was detail-oriented. He suggested politely, “We need to emphasize the light here. Shall we install another lamp?” “OK, Mr. Russell.” An assistant wrote down the note.
“Move that line of tables and chairs toward the right. We shall make the aisle as wide as possible.” “All right.” “The stage background is perfect. Let the flowers be freight here on that day. Ensure they are fresh.” “Please don’t worry, Mr. Russell. This has been confirmed already.” “Mr. Marsh focuses on security the most. You must pay attention. No mistake. Madam Aubree will attend the banquet.” “OK, Mr. Russell.” The banquet would be grand, so the hall was huge and luxurious, which could hold over a thousand people.
Countless staff members were still busy dealing with the details, trying to make it perfect.
Finnley deliberately watched them, so they could tell how much Ivan treasured this banquet. In many aspects, Finnley represents Ivan.
On the way back from Kelsington Bay , Jennifer leaned against Ivan’s chest and asked, “When should | be onboard?” Ivan’s eyes lit up. She asked again, “Should | work there as a designer or the vice president?” “Made up your mind? That's really soon.” van was overjoyed. “I thought I'd wait for at least 10 days or half a month. The vice president's office has been ready. Everything is new. We're waiting for you to be onboard.” “All right. I'll go to work tomorrow.” Jennifer had been well-prepared. “I'm sure some people will question my competence, but I'll prove it.” “Good.” Ivan liked her attitude. “I look forward to your performance.” After arriving home, Ivan dialed Finnley's number in the study. Standing in front of the window, he said gently, his hand stuffed into the pockets of his slacks, “Jennie will be onboard tomorrow morning. Add to the agenda. We'll introduce her to the senior executives in the morning meeting.” “Yes, Mr. Marsh.” Ivan asked, “Where are you now?” “Just returned from the banquet hall,” Finnley reported to him about the current status.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIvan was all his ears. “Thank you for your hard work, Finnley.” The following morning.
Eight o'clock. The Marsh Group.
In a brightly lit meeting room, the company's senior executives had arrived, sitting at the table that could hold over a hundred employees. They were in suits, looking elite, aged from 30 to 60.
In front of them were national flags. The laptops hidden on the desk slowly rose up and were turned on automatically.
Everyone had heard that Jennifer would come to work as the vice president, and they would meet her today.
More than half senior executives trusted Ivan, but the rest didn’t trust Jennifer's competence. They objected to this commission but couldn't do anything.
In the corridor outside, Ivan propped his arm on Jennifer's shoulders while walking toward the meeting room, followed by Finnley.
